Hold On Lyrics - Lucky Dube

I knew exactly, what you were going through 

It's just that I didn't have the right to discuss your problems 

I saw you struggling for our education 

I saw you struggling to get us clothes to wear, mama 

This man you got married to is dead alive? 

Over the years I asked myself many questions is he my real dad 

Or was I adopted, mama I know it's difficult for you, mama 

But hold on I am a little grown up now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

You were a laughing stock in the community 

The press didn't rest makin' news out of you, mama 

Now is the time to show them 

That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is 

Now is the time to show them 

That he who laughs last, laughs the best, that's the way it is 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

I know it's not easy for you mama 

But your tears will turn to laughter 

Now that I'm a grown up mama 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now 

Hold on just a little bit longer now
